Richard Branson: Opening Space Exploration to Everyone Will Inspire Us Back Here on Earth

EXCERPT:

BRANSON: “The exciting thing about this is that if enough people all over the world participate, it just means we can just keep on — the charity can keep on doing tickets for people. So, it’s a lovely sort of self-propelling — self-propelling way of just trying to get lots of people who couldn’t have otherwise afforded to go to space to go to space. So just imagine a world where people of all ages, all backgrounds, from anywhere, of any gender, of any ethnicity, have equal access to space. And they will, in turn, I think, inspire us back here on Earth. If you’ve ever had a dream, now is the time to make it come true. And I'd just like to end by saying welcome to the dawn of a new space age."
